1. Chemistry, Faculty of Science (v4, p177) : Next:610-211 | Prev:610-162
Credit points: 12.0
Coordinator: Dr P J Thistlethwaite
Prerequisite: 610-121 and 610-122, or 610-141 and 610-142. Students are advised to have taken 100 level Mathematics and Physics.
Corequisite: 610-260
Contact: 24 lectures (2 per week), 33 hours practical work, 6 tutorials
Timetable: Second semester
Objectives:
On completion of 610-210 the student should:
- understand and be able to apply the laws of thermodynamics and to make appropriate use of the concepts of entropy and free energy in both chemical and biological systems;
- to understand the relationship between molecular spectra and structure and to be able to use spectroscopic data to derive qualitative molecular information;
- be able to interpret from experimental data the rate expressions for reactions, including enzyme catalyzed reactions;
- be able to establish reaction mechanisms from reaction order;
- have developed experimental, observational, and report writing skills in the laboratory.
Content:
Thermodynamics, kinetics, spectroscopy.
Assessment:
One 3-hour written examination at the end of Semester 2 and assignments not exceeding six pages. Practical work must be completed satisfactorily before credit for the subject can be granted
